Nigeria - Bank Customers Association of Nigeria, BCAN, is set to clash with Nigerian banks if basic banking services is withdrawn from Nigerians who're yet to get their Biometric Verification Number.
Chairman of BCAN, Dr. Uju Ogubunka, said the association was meeting this week to, among other things, marshal out course of action to protect customers’ right to full and unrestricted access to their account, irrespective of their BVN status.
Several banks had sent out messages to their customers last week warning that access to their accounts would be barred unless they were BVN compliant by October 31.
Ogubunka, though admitting that many people have more than one account, added that the figure of 32 million, over 60 percent, non-compliant account was too large to be attributed to multiple account holding.
“We have called an emergency meeting of BCAN executives to review the situation, among many other industry issues, affecting bank customers this week,” he stated.
